Vol 5 Chapter 194: In front of the museum

Unlike the library, the First University Magical History Museum is located deep in the Silent Forest. Like the school’s research institute or hunting ground, it has its own separate area.
Just after eight o'clock in the evening, Zheng Qing and Xiao Xiao appeared in a clearing not far from the museum.
This is not the first time Zheng Qing has come into contact with the school's magic history museum.
Not long ago, when Mr. Wu gave him a class, he took him for a short stay in an exhibition hall of the Magical History Museum. The bison, the torture frame and the weird ape-man combination in the exhibition hall left a deep impression on the young wizard.
But it was the first time for Zheng Qing to enter this museum from the main entrance.
So until the main entrance of the museum, young public-sponsored students knew that this place was not like the Shushan Pavilion. The front hall was equipped with a glass door, and they could enter by just swiping their ID card at the entrance.
"You mean, it's closed time now, can't we go in?" Zheng Qing stared at the sparkling water in front of the museum, and looked back at Xiao Xiao, quite speechless.
He originally thought that after he came to the museum, Dr. Xiao Da led the way, and everyone just went in directly. Unexpectedly, before seeing the shadow of the museum gate, he was blocked by this obtrusive little lake.
This is a small lake with a length and width of about lihu, and many thick weeping willows scattered on the shore.
The lake was gurgling, except for the sparkling water and the golden moon reflected on the lake surface, there was no movement. The shore of the lake was submerged by lush water plants and thick weeping willows. Zheng Qing couldn't find where the lake water came from and where it was going, but he could vaguely see what he was looking for.
The black main entrance of the First University Museum of Magical History is sleeping on the other side of this small lake.
"You can't get in, not including me."
Xiao Xiao corrected Zheng Qing's inappropriate use of words, and then introduced the current situation: "Normally...I mean if you visit this museum during working hours during the day, you won't see the lake. During the day, In front of the museum is a wall with a lake, water, moon, and all kinds of magical creatures in the lake. At night, after the moonlight falls, the wall will transform into this lake, forming the outermost layer of the museum. guard."
Zheng Qing raised his head and glanced at the fuzzy white moon shadow hidden behind the clouds in the air, then looked down at the clear and golden round moon on the lake.
"All ghosts know that something is wrong in this lake." The young public-sponsored student said: "The sky is different from the two moons in the lake... Which silverfish would be stupid to step on this trap!"
"So this lake is to let the uninvited guests retreat." Xiao Xiao took out a stack of access control cards from his pocket, took out one, and threw it to Zheng Qing: "But we are not silverfish... …We are serious guests."
Zheng Qing took a card in surprise.
It is a temporary work permit for museum staff, allowing cardholders to enter and exit the museum freely without time limit.
"Can I use this kind of work permit?" Zheng Qing checked the milky white card in his hand over and over. The keywords on it were nothing but the'temporary pass of the First University Magical History Museum'. There are no magical anti-counterfeiting measures for the identity of the card holder: "...Where did you borrow it from?"
He bit the word "borrow" very hard.
Xiao Xiao helped his glasses: "Didn’t I say that this afternoon? The museum borrowed some people from the library to help. These temporary pass cards are for us. I greeted my colleague and said that some friends wanted to be there. When I visited some museums, I borrowed a few...this kind of thing is very common."
"Do they think you are dating your girlfriend?" Zheng Qing said with a smile.
"...Although these work permits are anonymous, they are not available to anyone who can use them." Xiao Xiao did not answer Zheng Qing's joking, and reminded with a straight face:
"Didn’t I ask you to bring your student card before you came? Only those students who have earned credits can use these work permits... This is a lazy but effective screening method. Probably the school feels that even if a student wants to enter the museum Walking around will not cause any major trouble."
While they were talking, rustling footsteps came from behind the two.
Xiao Xiao shut up immediately and winked at Zheng Qing.
Zheng Qing took out the thick and bulging book from the grey cloth bag, opened the title page, and activated the formation of the binding spell. The light green magic halo flickered in the gloomy night, and soon a long figure appeared in the sight of the two wizards.
It is Jiang Yu.
She wore a large cloak with a tight-fitting hunting suit made of small dragon skin. She was wearing boots on her feet, and many fragmentary magical ornaments hung around her waist. She also held an open book in her hand.
Zheng Qing quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
The two put away the books almost at the same time.
"You're here quite early." The young public servant greeted him with a smile and waved to the witch: "Where is Li Meng? She would stay in the dormitory honestly? That stuffed bear can't control her."
"I handed Mengmeng to Qingqiu Mansion. Senator Su is willing to help take care of it all night." The witch replied lightly, and at the same time took out her pocket watch to check the time: "...and it's not too early, don't you say eight Will you gather before half past one? It's a quarter past eight now."
The smile on Zheng Qing's face froze.
He almost forgot that Jiang Yu already knew about the relationship between him and Su Shijun~EbookFREE.me~ But even so, when did they get so close?
The wizard gave the witch suspiciously, trying to find clues in her expression.
But tonight the moonlight was dim, and the witch had a habitually deserted expression. Zheng Qing stared at it for a long time, and Xiao Xiao stared at him with a dry cough, but found no clue.
"Ahem," Xiao Xiao coughed slightly, interrupting the impolite "stare" of the young public-funded student, waved to Jiang Yu enthusiastically, and handed her a temporary work permit: "Is the student card taken? We must use both cards to get in."
Jiang Yu nodded, took the temporary work permit, and silently looked at it.
Almost at the front and back of the witch, the sound of different footsteps came from the forest again. The three of them looked back, and soon two sturdy figures approached the shore in the dark.
It's Fatty Xin and Zhang Jixin.
"Why do you two come later than the girls?" Zheng Qingji gave them the opportunity to pass, approached the two companions, and whispered.
"You can't blame me for this," Fatty Xin didn't have the idea of'being low-key', and immediately yelled: "It's Zhang Jixin, his brother, there was a support party in the evening. He detained him for a long time. I went to him and followed him for a long time !"
The sleeping waterbirds by the lake were awakened by the voice of the wizard and quacked.
Zheng Qing gave the fat man a vicious look.
the other side.
Zhang Jixin's face was reddened, and he took the card and asked gruffly: "We can't take a shortcut. We came from the Huanfu Corridor and walked through several pavilions... Then let's go directly in? Hey, Why is Sister Yu here too?"
He greeted Jiang Yu excitedly.
"Others are inconvenient tonight. Let's ask the squad leader to help." Zheng Qing pushed Zhang Jixin roughly toward the lake, and explained concisely.
